The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-03-22
MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAI--TUEsDAY, MARCH 90 1887:


WHEN Memphis forged ahead cold
weather was forgotten.
HAD IL not been for the coldness,
the grand stand would have been
packed.
BAKERS throwing to second cannot
be surpassed. He is treasure.
SHoR1sroP Davy Forcs is short in
fact, hut he gets there Just the same.
FIRST BAsRMAN ANDREWS is OF home
to every thing that comes in his direc-
ton.
/. FAITHFUL old Jack holds down right
field in great shape, and he is terror
TO pitchers.
A NUMBsR OF cafe bits were made in
McAleer's quarter, but no one could
have prevented.
In the 9Th inning Catcher Baker
fell and rolled over, but he caught his
man and taved run.
BIrTM added to his record by
beautifully retiring Andrews and Cor
man on a double pay.
MANAGER BRADLET, OF Nashville, is
negotiating with the once famous
pitcher Larry Corcoran.
THE Browns are all heavy batters-
at least, they appear so-under the
changed order Of things in the box.
GoRMAN is saving himself for NASH
vile, and Bradley's boys viii fall be-
fore him in dishesrtening manner.
BASEBALL interest is alive all over
tbs country, and, in the language OF
heavy batters, the season will be
Colker.
DAvY FORCE caught the grand
stand by a remarkable running catch
with bis left band. He got there close
to second.
CONSCIENTIOUS Dick finds the ball
under the new rules, aud will be well
up in the batting line at the close OF
the season.
In the lsst half Of the eighth inning
Phelan came in for difficult left hand
eaten and assisted Andrews in. a bril-
liant double play.
BLACK relieved German from the
box in the seventh inning. Bobby is
good wherever played, and the new
rules will serve him we'll as a pitcher.
THR Syracuse combination is strong
one, and will hold their own with the
other clubs in the Southern League,
but can do nothing with Sneed's team.
WIEGREFFE says he is going cunning
for the man who palmed of libelons
csricature on the pubic, Sunday, for
his picture. No jury would punish
him for 1t.
WIRGRRFFE's arm is badly swollen,
but will be sale and sound when he is
really needed. He is another unsur-
mouptsble barrier to victory for the
Nashville pets.
THR Browns play the Des Moines
club Thursday and leave Friday night
for st. Louis. Won der Abe will learn
that there is another team in exist
ence besides the worlds champions.
The Athletics have offered $4,000
for tie release of Latham, third base
man Of the st. Louis Browns. Boston
has also offered the same sum for the
release of Hardie Richardson, OF the
the Detroits. Both offers were re-
jected.
e IT Is now claimed that when the
new rules are thoroughly understood
and get in good working order they
will greatly increase the interest in
the national game. By them the pub
lie will not be annoyed by unneCes-
sary delays Of slow pitchers.
THE Nashville Union can now haul
in its sign as a baseball prognostics-
tor. See: "Ed Dundon always did
have it in for that crowd on the Bluff.
Watch him make them saw space"
One man sawed space. Again:
"Baumgartner's sluggefs will proceed
to knock Sneed's gilt edged team out
OF breath today and tomorrow"
THE Sunday Times knocked the reg
ular score card man yesterday, by dis
trbuting free of charge, handsomely
gotten up card. Besides the regular
arrangement Of players in batting Or
der with q eCors attachment, a lot of
interesting baseball information was
also printed. Col. Beer need not be
alarmed, it YVES only for one day.
NEXT week the series Of games be-
tween the Memphis and Nashville, fDr
the State championship will begin.
The fret three games will be played a:
Nashville and the second three here.
The seventh game, II one be found
necessary, will be played in one of the
two cities, to be decided by the toss Of
a coin A pennsnt, to cost 300, viii be
awarded to the winning team.
THE Dstroits, who have been play
ing exhibition games at Macon for the
past ten days, have learned a fact
about batting under the new rules.
They ay that il player holds his
bat in the usual position to strike at
a low ball he cannot raise 1t in time TO
hit a high ball; but, on the other
hand, il he holds the bat in the posi-
